There is no magic involved. Your tests should be requiring 'minitest/autorun' and the rest is, as the name implies, automatic. It doesn't matter if you're running a single file or a whole suite, it just works. I think he's referring to the fact that with test/unit, you didn't need to include 'minitest/autorun' (for examples, rspec 1.3 does something like what you describe, but rspec 2 does not--it provides a runner). Thus, the functionality breaks from 1.8 to 1.9.
